Per Jarle Bekken

The word is not distant, nor is it hidden; it breathes in the very air you speak.

To listen is to invite the nearness of the divine into your silence.

The journey from the mouth to the heart is one of transformation, not of distance.

Scripture is not a relic to be studied, but a word alive, pressing near.

In every question you ask, the answer draws closer still.

To confess with the lips is to awaken the heart to belief.

Do not seek the word in distant heavens or deep abysses; it is already within reach.

When the word dwells among us, every moment becomes sacred.

Faith is born when the word moves from written page to living voice.

The nearness of the word is a promise fulfilled in every act of love.

To believe in the heart is to let the word shape your very being.

No boundary can contain the word when spoken in faith.
